The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested popular business executive, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, on Tuesday.
She was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja upon her return from London, United Kingdom.
As contained in a statement from her legal team on Tuesday, Achimugu was apprehended around 5 a.m..
The arrest is linked to an ongoing EFCC investigation into alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
Her lawyer had earlier informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that Achimugu had declared her intention, through court documents, to honour the EFCC’s invitation on Tuesday.
This follows a court order issued by Justice Inyang Ekwo, directing Achimugu to report to the anti-graft agency on April 29, 2025.
The court also mandated her appearance on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, to continue legal proceedings on the matter.
